When it comes to babies, celebrities tend to get a little eccentric with names. It can often be hit or miss, depending on how obscure they want to go, but sometimes they choose the perfect name that makes us all swoon.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are the most recent celebrity couple to show that 2016 hasn't quite been the mixed bag of terrific and terrible names that we've come to expect, with the pair naming their new daughter Ines.

As we've seen, many famous mummies and daddies have been choosing unusual yet adorable names for their little bundles of joy, with a new trend of middle names beginning with 'R' also emerging.

We've gathered up just a few of our favourites.

Of all space-themed names, Luna has to be, by far, one of the softest and sweetest. Chrissy and John are already being heralded as top parents, and one look at her little face tells you they couldn't have chosen a more perfect name.

The former One Direction star and his baby mama chose a proper little cheeky chap name for their first child. The pair, who are no longer together, were one of the first to spark the 'R' middle name trend.

Buddy Bob Fletcher (Tom and Giovanna Fletcher)

After naming their first son Buzz, we didn't think they could top it. But when little Buddy came along earlier this year, they proved us wrong.

Jonathan may be a rather common, traditional name, but Anne and Adam have give it a unique plushness by giving their son a very regal middle name.

Dream Renee Kardashian (Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian)

We'll save the drama between Blac and Rob for now, but what can be said is they chose a great name for their little girl. It's just teetering on the edge of being a typical celebrity, over-the-top name, but still gets away with being adorable. Well done, guys.

Boomer Robert Phelps (Michael Phelps and Nicole Johnson)

We don't really know what to say about this name except that it's bizarre and amazing all at once. The Olympic swimmer and his fiancee Nicole chose a real cracker here, and pairing it with a traditional middle name is an excellent idea.

Amada Lee Gosling (Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes)

You may find this name a little familiar. That's because Ryan and Eva decided to borrow their first daughter Esmeralda Amada's middle name for her baby sister. An unusual way to do things but undeniably sweet.

Although Iris may not be the most bizarre name going, it's the pairing with the more traditional Mary that makes this name so special.

Continuing their colours theme after naming their first daughter Hazel, John and Emily went for Violent the second time around. Granted it's not exactly an unusual name, but its vintage, throwback vibe makes it totally on trend.

Dusty Rose Levine (Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo)

Speaking of vintage, the Maroon 5 frontman and his model wife Behati went for something very 60s for their first daughter. But as well as having that retro feel about it, it's also very much of the now.

Cleo James (Nev Schulman and Laura Perlongo)

Nev and Laura made headlines earlier this year before their daughter was even born, when the pair campaigned for better maternity and paternity leave policies. They've now welcomed their little girl into the world and went for the sweet-yet-exotic name Cleo.

We had to have super bizarre name in here somewhere. We are talking about celebrity baby names after all. Megan and Brian are known for giving their kids very nature-inspired names and their new son is no different. But although it sounds more like a destination than a person, it's still a pretty great name.
